go to make mp common whole. Tue
Press wishes to have Sioux Falls push
herself ahead, and it desires to see the
other towns do the same thing. When
in friendly rivalry each place works With
diligence and energy to have the ad
1acent vaoans lands settled upon, and
manufactures and iobbing houses es-
t%ablished, then the whole territory will
prosper. II is entirely unreasonable
and illogical to conclude that what is
gained by one is taken away from the
Others. The Press is glad to say that
the great mass Of the people Of Sioux
Falls entertain the very best of feeling
toward the other cities of Dakota, and
that they. reioice to see them all grow
and become Prosperous.

A Wonderful Invention.


John Speight, the artistic barbecuer, has
recently invented device for the encour-
agement of disappointed and detected hens
which he thinks will revolutionize the poul-
try business throughout this section wher-
ever used. 1t consists of a small, square
pine pine box, the bottom of which slants to
the centre like funnel, having a small hole
an editors conscience. Into this box
is placed a handful of straw, which
effectually conceals the hole from
the searching gaze Of the unfortunate fowl.
When everything is made ready John
places his royal patented, self-acting hen
within the box and then steps modestly aside
to await developments. The hawser is
I thrown off, the dial plate screwed down,
main spring set toward and lever reversed
Now it is a well-known fact among those
who have closely observed the habits of a
hen that Immediately after laying an egg
she looks about and regards it critically
to see that no part of its shape or gen
eral makeup has been neglected, and
right here the advantages of the new inven-
ton are clearly apparent TO all, for as soon
as the egg is laid it drops through The aper-
ture in the bottom of the box, down into a
vessel placed below. The hem is of course
surprised for a moment at not seeing the
egg as she had right to expect, and ma
turally presuming that mistake had been
made on her part at once pro-
ceeds to lay another egg which
likewise drops into the vessel I'M
derneath. and i'll this manner continued I'M
til as many as seventeen eggs are known to
have been laid, while the poor hen, faint
with exhaustion and despair falls from the
box in stlpor and is Immediately wrapped
i'll a blanket and restoratives administered
This invention has been exhibited TO many
poultry fanciers, all of whom claim for it
many advantages possessed by no
similar concern. An effort is now
being made with every hope of sue
cess to complete arrangements for the lay
ing of satin-lined pipe connecting this
box with Bob divers new and celebrated
incubator, which if done will put spring
chickens on the market in few hours after
the hen makes up her mind TO enter the
egg business. 1t is also probable that a
stock company will be organized with a
paid up capital of 10000 hens for the pur-
pose Of conducting this business on a large
and profitable scale.
